In [i]Either/Or,[/i] using the voices of two characters – the aesthetic young man of part one, called simply 'A', and the ethical Judge Vilhelm of the second section – Kierkegaard reflects upon the search for a meaningful existence, contemplating subjects as diverse as Mozart, drama, boredom, and, in the famous [i]Seducer's Diary,[/i] the cynical seduction and ultimate rejection of a young, beautiful woman. A masterpiece of duality, [i]Either/Or[/i] is a brilliant exploration of the conflict between the aesthetic and the ethical – both meditating ironically and seductively upon Epicurean pleasures, and eloquently expounding the noble virtues of a morally upstanding life.
